Some will do you just have to tell them how your child is with other cats. I have a 3 and a 5 year old both have been brought up with animals so they know how to treat them. I foster for the ukrcc and have homed pets from rescues so try it.

dont rescues have a rehoming rule of not allowing cats to go to a home with children under 5? i have a 3 year old who has been bought up with cats and knows to respect an animal but most rescues dont seem to understand that and just say no. hence i was looking for a privrate rehome.

hi we are looking for a persian to join our family and would rather help one needing a home than just go to a breeder and buy one(if that makes sense) we currently have a neutered male persian cross, so either male or female(would prefer neutered or spayed but dont mind getting this done if it isnt already) as long as it will get along with a male cat,ours is a total wimp and scared of everything so there wil be no problems there,we think it may do him the world of good been with another cat. and age, yes even the oldies are wellcome at our home,and not fussed about colour, just needs to be a pleasent cat with good temper. i can collect and im also more than happy for you to do a home check,as well as keep in contact to see how he/she is doing. im in blackpool lancashire and can collect around the lancashire areas.
